Hope it's not as windy as it's been around here for you in the Cell stands. 40 and wind is mighty cold. Hope Thome lights into some of Meche's fastballs. Cmon Jimmy. 2-3 home runs.

Somebody said Phillies fans booed tonight. Wow, how soon we forget.

Let's just say I disagree with this. I hope he does very well but does nothing to beat us in the 18 f***ing games we have to face him. I agree he picked the wrong team cause of the carpet. Hope our pitchers know how to get him out.

We love Royals rejects. Hopefully he'll never see the mound. He's one of the worst pitchers in modern baseball history.

They can't shorten the season cause of monetary reasons. It's too late to even think that. As far as weather, you never ever know. s*** it was almost 80 degrees in KC a couple weeks ago. It's been in the 70s a lot and now it's 35 with sleet. You just don't know. And the season actually is starting later this year.

Cheers to him as well. Hope he speeds it up this season and works fast on the mound, ala Mark B. It is nice to have him in there if he is the Jose of old.

Uh oh. Hasn't anybody told you rule one of talk radio and message boards? Nobody gives a flip about your fantasy team. Except you, of course. GO SOX! p.s. That would be a neat story if Fields turned into a slugger this season. Bashing home run after home run.

Frank's too proud to sit the bench and pinch hit. This is why great players who are with one team a long time should suck it up and finish with that team and not pout, etc. and get run out of town. His post Sox career totally sucked.

Did Frank Thomas make a team? He should be throwing out the first pitch. Or Fisk. Or let Harold do it.

The internet era is amazing. In the old days Sox fans just accepted the lineup put on the field and if there were complaints, they were in the neighborhoods, on the streets of the South side neighbors talking. Now ... Wise is buried by his own fans big time. And he knows it evidenced by the story in one of the papers where it commented on all of Wise's critics. Sports used to be more fun in the days of reasonable ticket prices and when if fans wanted to b**** they had to (and wouldn't) write a signed letter to the editor. Now it's bury the guy anonymously. Wise may suck, but our skipper and GM think he's the best we've got.

Wow. Phenomenal. It's really the fourth year after our WS crown? Man time flies.

Did Wise simply earn the job? How bad has Wise been in cf this spring?

So it's a repeat of last year?

I took it as the post about Boone Logan being the first lefty out of the pen was flaming me for thinking he was still on the team.

I said "a roster." I realized his sorry ass wasn't on the Sox anymore. Why do some get so pissed at discussion on here? It's like if you dare start a new thread you are going to be flamed.

Good post Tommy. That answers my question. Mac I'm sure will be on a short leash. He is not one of Oz's past favorites. One or two horrific outings out of the gate might be it for him. p.s. Did Boone Logan make a roster this spring? I disliked him equally.

These fat pitchers are a joke. They should be forced to get in shape before they step on a big league mound. I wonder if they'll bunt him out of the league like they did poor Wilbur Wood.

I was thinking Coco Crisp as well since we didn't do anything to upgrade. Let's see how he does in KC. We're certainly going to face him enough. Oz certainly has a love affair with Wise. Let's see how long it lasts.

It's amazing how they can predict this stuff a week or more in advance. But I guess that's a different topic. Play ball!

We should save this post. I think you have identified why, on paper, we really may suck this season. Defense and speed are important. Our left side of the infield may be horrific. AJP isn't getting any younger. Up the middle, wow. We are a big question mark at best. This might be the long season we've dreaded for a while. Hope a lot of guys step up.

Why is MacDougal on the team? I haven't followed spring training closely once again. Has he a new windup? New command? MacDougal is simply awful. Please tell me he's changed his whole approach. I simply can't believe he's able to pitch without walking people galore and throwing the ball to the screen.

At least BA is the fourth outfielder. He'll play a lot.

How has Alexi fared in spring training? I picture him as a wild man at ss. I can see some throws into the stands ala Alan Bannister.

Anderson is a great fielder with some pop. You need good defense to win anything in baseball. Why not pencil him in and see what happens? The guy is a good fielder.

I'm in; sign up league fivers; let's go. If we don't fill all the slots, will yahoo fill in the final teams for us?
